When he returned to Blackwood City, Xiaodian Dian was already waiting at the blacksmith shop.
"Brother, what have you been doing? Didn't you agree to teach me how to make preparations today?" Xiaodian pursed her lips and complained in a low voice.
With the Black Iron Mother Essence in hand, Yue Ran was in a very good mood. He didn't care about the little complaints and said with a smile: "Have you been waiting for a long time? Let's go, let's go make equipment now. I need your help this time!"
The two walked into the blacksmith shop and rented a workshop. Without any delay, they immediately started making equipment. After all, this workshop costs money.
Along the way, Yue Ran had already thought about what he was going to make. Both of their space rings were filled with black iron ore, so they could make a lot more things this time than Yue Ran did last time. Because
Yue Ran has already established a gang. The equipment produced must first meet the requirements of the stars, and selling the equipment is second. Yue Ran decided to focus on making weapons this time and less on armor. Compared with protection, attack power is more important.
.
The more important thing is that it has been determined that the broad bean-sized ore is the black iron mother spirit. Yue Ran decided to use it to make a powerful weapon for himself, and this requires the use of advanced blacksmith skills: crystal core extraction. This is also what Yue Ran decided to do.
The reason why Ran brought Xiaodian with him is that according to Yue Ran's habit, when he is focusing on one thing, he hates being disturbed the most.
"Dandian, have you ever used the skill of crystal core extraction?"
"No, brother, I haven't even seen the monster crystal core yet." Xiaodiandian answered honestly.
Yue Ran nodded, and directly took out a handful of third-level monster crystal cores of various colors from the space ring, handed them to Xiaodian, and said: "Then practice these first, and when you become proficient, I need you to help me extract a few.
A monster crystal core.”
"These monster crystal cores are worth a lot of money? Are they all for me to practice with?" Xiaodiandian said uncertainly. Although she is a game novice, she still knows whether the monster crystal cores are worth money. Only Yue Ran
The dozen monster crystal cores in my hand cost more than ten gold coins.
"Of course, brother, there are a lot of them here. You should know about the last time monsters attacked the city? The harvest was good, there were hundreds of them."
"Big brother!" Xiaodian made a face, no longer hesitated, took the monster crystal core in Yue Ran's hand, then took out one at random, put it in front of his eyes, and stared at it for a while.
, the hand holding the monster crystal core emitted a burst of light, wrapping the monster crystal core.
This is a wood-type monster crystal core. When the light wraps around it, it shrinks rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and its color changes from bright emerald green to dark green.
"Brother! It's successful!" Xiaodiandian said in surprise.
But just as she was distracted, the light surrounding the monster crystal core dissipated, and the monster crystal core shattered with a "ding" sound, and the fragments scattered on the ground.
"Be serious!" After wasting a level 3 monster crystal core, Yue Ran immediately reminded him that he was lying if he said he didn't feel bad.
"Oh!" Xiaodian made a mistake and nodded seriously. He picked up a monster crystal core again and began to extract the crystal core. This time, when the monster crystal core began to shrink, Xiaodian didn't stop.
He was distracted and instead stared at the monster crystal core with special concentration. It wasn't until the light that originally enveloped the monster crystal core dissipated that he raised his head and looked at Yue Ran.
This time, the monster crystal core did not shatter.
"Show me." Seeing that Xiaodian had finished extracting a monster crystal core, Yue Ran was also very happy. He took the crystal core that Xiaodian handed over and looked at it carefully.
This is a third-level earth crystal core. It was originally the size of a baby's fist and exuded a faint khaki light. Now it has become only the size of a red date, and the khaki light is much brighter than before.
Much richer.
"Make everything I give you like this." Although he succeeded once, Yue Ran still did not dare to take it lightly, so he asked Xiaodian again to extract all the remaining monster crystal nuclei.
Xiaodian started extracting the monster crystal core, and Yue Ran was not idle either, starting to make the molds needed to cast weapons.
Except for the first broken monster crystal core, Yue Ran gave Xiaodian a total of fifteen. When Yue Ran almost finished making the weapon mold, Xiaodian also completed the extraction of the fifteen monster crystal nuclei.
, this time, three more pills were broken, but when the last five pills were finally extracted, the success rate was 100%.
Yue Ran also felt relieved and took out ten level four monster crystal cores and two level five ones, all of which were fire elements. He handed them to Xiaodiandian and said, "Extract these, I will use them."
After saying that, he stopped disturbing Xiaodiandian and went to smelt the ore. When he and Xiaodian entered the workshop, all the ore had been placed beside the crucible. Yue Ran chose a large crucible and directly smelted the ore.
Nearly half a cubic meter of black iron ore was put in and smelting began.
When the ore had basically melted, Xiaodian finally extracted all the sixteen fire-type monster crystal nuclei without any fragments. Moreover, Xiaodian had extracted them into round shapes according to Yue Ran's request.
They are flat in shape, among which the crystal cores of the fourth-level monsters are slightly larger than dates, while those of the fifth-level ones are as big as walnuts. Both of them are rich in fiery red color and extremely bright, like rubies.
Yue Ran was very satisfied with their size, they were just right.
"Brother, what do you want with these extracted monster crystal nuclei?" Xiaodian Dian was very confused.
"Of course I'm making equipment. I want to make a better weapon for myself!" Yue Ran said confidently. He had already thought about it on the way back from the Tiger Flame Forest. "Next, I'm going to start making equipment.
Alright, take a look!"
The black iron ore in the crucible had already turned into molten iron. Yue Ran picked up the spoon and poured it little by little into the pouring port on the mold. While pouring it, he said, "Be careful, because weapons are generally very thin, so
When pouring molten iron, be sure to shake the mold gently to expel all the air inside so that the molten iron can be completely filled in, so that the weapon formed after the mold is removed will not have broken joints and pores, do you understand?"
"I understand, brother!"
"Well, then you give it a try." Yue Ran handed the spoon to Xiaodian. Looking at her jerky movements, he couldn't help but guide, "Don't move too much. Be careful not to splash out the molten iron. Pour a little slower.
, your hand holding the spoon should be steady..."
In a short while, nearly ten molds of various types were poured with the joint efforts of Yue Ran and Xiaodian, and most of the ore had been consumed.
Then Yue Ran taught Xiao Dian Dian how to make plate armor. Unfortunately, forging was something she, a weak little girl, couldn't do. After a few hammer blows, Xiao Dian Dian couldn't hold the hammer. In the end, Yue Ran made three sets of armors.
The armor is finished.
Next, Yue Ran will start making the equipment for his own use.
Yue Ran has never had the opportunity to use the Xingyi Five Elements Fist since he entered the game. He usually uses daggers and spurs in battles, and even the boxing technique is only the Fire Fist. However, what he wants to do most is to be a boxer. After all, he has a set of skills.
I have been practicing Xingyiquan for more than ten years and I am already used to it.
What he needs to do now is a pair of fist gloves inlaid with the crystal core of a fire monster!
A small piece of black iron ore and the black iron mother essence were put into the smelting furnace. Since the ore was not large, the black iron ore melted quickly, but the black iron mother essence remained unchanged.
After a long time, when the black iron ore was almost melting, the black iron mother essence just had a hint of red. Yue Ran was dumbfounded and quickly took out the black iron ore and increased the firepower.
In the red fire, the Black Iron Mother Essence began to turn red little by little. Upon seeing this, Yue Ran put the Black Iron Ore into it again. When both became red, Yue Ran used fire tongs to remove them all.
Clip it out, put it on the anvil, and hit it quickly with a huge hammer.
The two pieces of ore quickly stuck together under Yue Ran's rapid tapping. The two fused together and soon became indistinguishable between you and me.
The temperature of the ore on the anvil gradually dropped. Seeing this, Yue Ran immediately put it into the smelting furnace. After it turned red again, he took it out and continued to pound it to let the black iron mother essence and black iron ore
Fully integrated.
After repeating this for nearly ten times, the piece of black iron ore that is fused with the black iron mother essence has become much smaller. From the appearance, it is no longer clear which is the black iron mother essence and which is the ordinary black iron ore.
Yue Ran took the towel handed over by Xiaodian, wiped his sweat, took a breath, and started working again.
Put the ore that has been fused with the black iron mother essence into the smelting furnace and heat it red. Yue Ran divides it into two equal parts, then divides one part into several pieces, and then starts to pound the pieces piece by piece with a small hammer.
Soon, the larger piece turned into a thin piece. Yue Ran tapped it gently. Under Yue Ran's hammer, it gradually turned into the shape of the back of his hand. Then, Yue Ran turned the rest of it into a thin piece.
The small pieces below were knocked into the shape of a wrench. Each piece was of different sizes, corresponding to the five fingers.
Soon, the metal parts of the two gloves were completed.
Then Yue Ran carefully polished each piece of metal, grinding all the burrs on the edges until they were visible. Next, came the most important step - inlaying the monster crystal core.
Ten level four fire monster crystal cores are all inlaid on the ten rings, while two level five monster crystal cores are inlaid on the metal parts on the back of the hand. Since the metal parts are very small, this is also
The reason why Yue Ran asked Xiaodian to extract them.
Yue Ran carefully inlaid them one by one, and it took a long time before all sixteen monster crystal cores were inlaid. After completion, Yue Ran felt a burst of collapse.
There is only one last step left to connect these scattered metal parts.
The connecting material Yue Ran chose was the python skin obtained from the python that was in the dragon stage that he killed when he met the old man in white robe. This is the best leather material that Yue Ran currently has. And because the old man in white robe used too many methods.
Cruel, this piece of python skin was in pieces and couldn't be used to make a leather armor, so Yue Ran used it as the connecting material for the gloves, which can be regarded as waste.
"Brother, are you making a pair of gloves?" At this time, Xiaodian Dian also saw what Yue Ran was trying to make, and couldn't help but ask, "But why not make them all from black iron ore?"
"Stupid!, if it is all made of black iron ore, how do you deal with the movable knuckles? It can only be made of soft leather, you know? Although it is made entirely of black iron ore, it can increase the opponent's protection.
, but it will also affect the flexibility of the hand, which is not worth the loss." Yue Ran explained patiently that his idea was actually very simple. Since Xiaodian Dian has advanced blacksmith skills, he would train her to be Xingchen's head blacksmith.
After explaining to Xiaodian, Yue Ran cut the python skin into the shape of gloves. Yue Ran had taken the time to learn tailoring skills before. Since it was his third life occupation, Yue Ran spent five taels of gold ingots to do it this time.
, this is the first time to use it.
Then Yue Ran used extremely tough monster tendons to sew the python skin and metal parts together, and a pair of gloves was completed.
"Wow! So beautiful!"
The python skin with strange patterns, the dark iron ore as black as ink, and the fiery red demonic beast crystal core, this pair of gloves is not ordinary at first glance, it seems to be a work of art.
Yue Ran tried it on and found that the comfort was quite good and it fit perfectly with his hand. Yue Ran did not make a complete glove, but a half-fingered one, with the first half of the five fingers completely exposed.
Yes, this does not affect the flexibility of the fingers at all.
"Brother, give her a name!"
"What did you say it was called?" Yue Ran was in a great mood after receiving a very satisfying piece of equipment.
"Well, the monster crystal core inlaid on it is just like a ruby, so why not call it a ruby glove!" Xiaodiandian thought for a while and said.
"I think countless lives will die from its attacks in the future. It should be called... the God of Flame Death!" As soon as Yue Ran finished speaking, he felt a trace of warmth from the gloves.
Moreover, those ruby-like monster crystal nuclei shone slightly, as if with a hint of joy, and at the same time a voice sounded in Yue Ran's heart: "Thank you, Master, for the name!"
